Air Fryer Chicken Wings

1. Prep the Wings:
   • Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Removing as much moisture as possible helps them get crispy.
   • In a large bowl, mix together the baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
   • Add the wings to the bowl and toss to evenly coat them with the seasoning mix.
2. Preheat the Air Fryer:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This step might vary depending on your air fryer model, so adjust accordingly.
3. Cook the Wings:
   • Place the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer; you may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
   • Cook for about 25-30 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy.
4. Sauce the Wings:
   • Once the wings are cooked, place them in a clean bowl.
   • Pour your chosen wing sauce over them and toss to evenly coat all the wings.
5. Serve:
   • Serve the wings hot with side dips like blue cheese or ranch dressing, and some celery sticks or carrot sticks on the side.

Tips:

• Baking Powder: Ensure you use baking powder (not baking soda) to help the skin become crispy.
• Flipping is Key: Flipping the wings halfway through the cooking process ensures they get crispy on all sides.
• Don’t Overcrowd: Cooking the wings in a single layer without overcrowding the air fryer basket helps air circulate around the wings, making them crispier.

Air fryer chicken wings are a quick, delicious, and healthier way to enjoy a classic favorite. They can be customized with various sauces and seasonings to suit any taste preference. Enjoy your cooking and the deliciously crispy results!
